The immediate past Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has formally dumped the APC hours after unveiling ADC as the platform to rival Bola Tinubu at the polls.
In a statement he personally signed and shared on his Facebook page, he said the decision was taken fter wide consultations and deep personal reflection.
He said,”; I hereby announce my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and my decision to align with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the party of choice for our coalition — a coalition driven by the urgent need to rescue our country from further decline.”;
He clarified that his move was not made out of anger or ambition; “but one inspired by love for our nation and concern for the hardship our people are facing daily.”;
According to him, Nigeria is bleeding. Insecurity has taken over homes, especially in the North.
“Banditry, kidnappings, and terrorism have become part of our lives while the government prioritizes politics over the safety of its citizens.”;
“Our economy is in shambles. Prices of basic food items have tripled. The poor can no longer feed their families. Jobs are disappearing. Young people are hopeless. Instead of focusing on real solutions, the government is consumed by propaganda and political distractions.”;
He chided the current administration, accusing it of abandoning good governance.
“Appointments, projects, and policies are now guided by political loyalty and not national interest. I cannot remain part of a system that watches in silence as Nigerians suffer and die.”;
According to Malami, he joinedthe ADC believing it’s a platform built on the values of justice, inclusion, competence, and national renewal.
“ I believe that through this coalition and with the support of Nigerians, we would help chart a new course for Nigeria.”;
